Guitars are gentle and arrangements sparse, making plenty of room for the album's focal point—Molly’s smoky, airy voice that flits between laid-back (“Every Little Thing”) and playful (“For The Boys”).

Protex, Gold Star, Music City, The Die Group and The Goon Sax
Saturday, October 27th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Protex formed in 1978 in Dublin and were among the first wave of Irish punk bands along with Good Vibrations label-mates Rudi and The Undertones. The original incarnation of the band lasted until 1981. In 2010 the New York based Sing Sing label issued an album of unreleased recordings originally intended for Polydor, under the title "Strange Obsessions". The great reception it received encouraged the band to reform and they've been going strong since. See Protex along with Baby Shakes and Music City at Diveria Drive in Brooklyn on Tuesday October 23rd.
Marlon Rabenreither is a throwback to the days when songwriting was entrenched as a celebrated art form. The music he crafts under the moniker Gold Star is, in a word – timeless. His first two albums, Dark Days and Big Blue, captured the energy and spirit of the late ’60s and ’70s when rock ‘n roll and folk-rock were at their peak. Today, many of those artists and bands are legends. With his third album Uppers & Downers, Gold Star scales his own summit to deliver a memorable record that is still etched in the classics, but its stories are told through the prism of the present- The Revue. Gold Star makes a rare New York appearance at Baby's All Right on October 24th.
Conor Lumsden has been playing in bands since he was 12, having made two LPs as part of Irish group The Number Ones and having played in backing groups for Cian Nugent, Jack Cooper (Ultimate Painting) and A. Savage (Parquet Courts.) He’s now set out on his own with new project Music City that picks up where The Number Ones left off, making classic, crunchy ‘70s style power-pop- Brooklyn Vegan Music City's new 45 on Static Shock Records, "Pretty Feelings" is an instant pop classic! See them perform it live at Diviera Drive on Tuesday Oct. 23rd with Baby Shakes and Protex!
Hailing from Los Angeles, Die Group bring back the halcyon days of seventies punk rock on their new full length album on SexTape Records, "Disease Control". They are angry and who can blame them? Die Group will rip through hits and misses like "Old and Gross", "Nothing Good Today" and "Longhairs" on Todd's show and during their East Coast Invasion.
The Goon Sax follow in the fabled tradition of Australian indie pop...band member Louis Forster is the son of The Go-Between's Robert Forster. Although all three members of The Goon Sax just reached twenty, they have just released their second album, We're Not Talking (Wichita Recordings). Don't miss this charming band at Alphaville in Brooklyn on October 25th.
The Teenage Wasteland / Ichiban Helloween Spooktacular
Sunday, October 28th, 3pm - 5pm
on Teenage Wasteland with Bill Kelly
In support of WFMU's annual WFMU October fundraiser, Debbie D is flying in from Brooklyn to join Bill Kelly on Teenage Wasteland on Oct 28th. Debbie's "Queen-for-a-Day" arms might be tired, but not enough that she won't be able to bring some of her diabolical, Ichiban-flavored, rock, slop and soul along with her. Debbie and Bill will co-host and co-program this event. Don Cornelius' soul may depend on it.
1972: The Greatest Year in Pop Music History (with Bronwyn B)
Sunday, October 28th, 8pm - 10pm
on Gaylord Fields's show
Gaylord Fields and his guest for this special program, Love Is Only Sleeping host Bronwyn B, are in 100 percent agreement that 1972 was, without a doubt, the best year ever in the annals of popular music — even though only one of the pair was even alive during that glorious time span. They aim to prove this conclusively by featuring exclusively Top 40 hits from '72 during this program, and will brook no arguments to the contrary in the process.
Random Pull Special
Monday, October 29th, 9am - Noon
on Surface Noise with Joe McGasko
It's almost Halloween, and Joe has decided to do something scary. What's the scariest thing a DJ can do? That's right: Program a radio show comprised entirely of artists he's never heard of playing music he's never heard before! On today's show, Joe randomly dips into the WFMU record library and pulls out music that's new to you as well as to him. He will not audition it in advance, so you will both be hearing it for the first time together. Joe calls this "Random Pull," and special guests will be dropping by to present their own random pulls. This show might be good, it might be bad, or it might be a combination of both – tune in and find out what happens!
The Halloween show
Monday, October 29th, 3:01pm - 6pm
on Scott Williams's show
The Halloween show is the show Scott would do every week, if there wasn't an actual Halloween forcing him to make it some kind of special thing.
Wax Chattels
Tuesday, October 30th, 9pm - Midnight
on Burn It Down! with Nate K.
Who needs guitars? Wax Chattels definitely do not. The New Zealand trio's take on minimalist post-punk revivalism is built instead on menacing synths, rumbling bass, and beats that are precise but never inflexible. Add to all that a hint of the cinematic and you get a sound that ranges from dense, driving sonic polemics to gorgeously eerie odes to the "X-Files," and all with nary a six-string in sight. Wax Chattels were kind enough to drop by Burn It Down to play some songs from their recent self-titled LP on Captured Tracks, and you can also check them out Thursday, October 18, at Elsewhere in Brooklyn.
Todd-O-Phonic Todd & Duane Train's Halloween costumed dance party special
Wednesday, October 31st, Noon - 3pm
on The Duane Train
The Teenage Wasteland / Ichiban Helloween Spooktacular
Wednesday, October 31st, 3pm - 5pm
on Debbie Does WFMU with Debbie D. (on Rock & Soul Ichiban stream)
Debbie D is flying in from Brooklyn to join Bill Kelly on Teenage Wasteland. Debbie's "Queen-for-a-Day" arms might be tired, but not enough that she won't be able to bring some of her diabolical, Ichiban-flavored, rock, slop and soul along with her. Debbie and Bill will co-host and co-program this event which will air live on Teenage Wasteland Oct 28th, 3-5pm, and on the Ichiban Stream on Oct 31st from 3-5pm.
Halloween Special featuring The War Of The Worlds!
Wednesday, October 31st, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
Taking advantage of the rare Halloween night show, tonight Evan "Funk" Davies presents a broadcast of a classic story that's been associated with the holiday for decades: The War Of The Worlds. What's that? Orson who? No, not THAT War Of The Worlds — Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds! This 2-LP set from 1978 features performances by Richard Burton, Justin Hayward, Phil Lynott, and more, bringing you a progtastic orchestral telling of the H.G. Wells classic. Make sure you're done with trick or treating by 9pm so you can tune in to WFMU!
Evil Sounding Electronic Sounds with Peter Gunn and Crito
Thursday, November 1st, Midnight - 3am
on Nickel And Dime Radio with $mall ¢hange
Still technically Halloween, and $¢ is joined by returning guests Peter Gunn and Crito for an exploration into the dark side of electronic and bass music, old and new. Both of them have records for days, should be a good session!
Dorothy Carvello
Saturday, November 3rd, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael chats with Dorothy Carvello about her new book “Anything for a Hit: An A&R Woman’s Story of Surviving the Music Industry” which details the her rise from being secretary to Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun, to becoming the first female A&R executive at Atlantic, and the years of rampant sexual harassment she was subject to and horrible behavior she was witness to in the male dominated industry.
Roky Erickson
Saturday, November 3rd, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Roky Erickson is the legendary vocalist of Austin's seminal psychedelic combo, The 13th Floor Elevators, as well as being one of the main songwriters. After numerous mental health issues (documented in the 2005 film "You're Gonna Miss Me") Roky began making solo albums in 1980, often delving into his fandom of horror movies for subject matter. In 2007 he performed for the first time in New York and has triumphantly returned numerous times since. He currently performs Elevators classics as well as such beloved songs from his solo career as "Starry Eyes" and "I Walked With A Zombie". Roky's Oct. 30th show at Monty Hall is sold out, but you can see him on Halloween at The Knockdown Center and Bushwick and hear him live on the Todd-O-Phonic Todd show.
Kurt Baker Combo- and Friends Of Cesar Romero
Saturday, November 10th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
The Kurt Baker Combo's new album is aptly titled Let's Get Wild! (Wicked Cool Records). Kurt and company will be making a rare U.S. appearance and be churning out their classic power pop and glam sounds with Todd-O-Phonic Todd. Their run of East Coast dates includes an appearance at Bowery Electric on Friday November 9th.
Friends of Cesar Romero are the kings of Rapid City, South Dakota rock'n'roll! Their prolific bandcamp page includes over 20 releases! Their blend of power pop, punk and garage never fails to impress.
